EAST INDIES, (Madras Courier, Feb. 14.) From the following extract of a letter, it would appear that the Burmese meditate an attack upon Armen, an undertaking in , which they are not unlikely to succeed from the extreme sickness of our troops who have the misfortune of being stationed there. " ARD.A.C4K, JAN', d 7, ~The. 49th Regiment Native Intautry embarked about the 20th inst, and the 62d in a. few days after for Chittagong, leaving the .Ist Grenadier Battalion, the only corps at Arraean. They arrived here six weeks ago, 100 effec tive men, and are now reduced to nearly half that uumber, having upwards . 4.300 end from 10 to 12 going into hospital daily. Out of 17 officers, six have. gone away on medical certifi cate, and one officer (Lieut. Peel) died on the 22d ult. - " A force of between 30,000 and:4o,ooo men 15 said to have assembled on the other side of the Talak hills, and should they make an attemp to re-take: Arraean, they would not find much difficulty in doing so, unless other troops are sent to defend the place, as by the time the Burmese could arrive the whole of the Grenadier Battalion_ stands a good chance of being in hospital ; and as for the Artillery detachment, they have not 10 men fit for duty, " FES. 21.—Lientenant Flood, of His Majesty's lath, we are glad to perceive, has been released by the Burmese. " Ha was taken on his return front a visit to General Cotton's camp : the Kee Woonghee's assertion that he was ignorant of the matter was probably true, far lie has since returned. Dr. Sand ford and Mr. Bennet, the officers; who were taken on their way from Prome, were at the capital, and well treated. There was a report that a letter, signal by them, strongly recommending peace, and sayiog•that he of the Golden feet bed sworn never toaanction the surrender of any' territory, and that a Demuth never tweaks his oath ! had been received : this letter was evidently signed by compulsion. The Burmahs must have a very mean opinion of our penetration to think they could impose on us by so shallow an artifice. Brigadier Stewart, who had delayed marching in conse quence of the peace, moved forward to Prom immediately on the renewal of hostilities. His Majesty's 45th proceeds by water. Brigadier Pepper continued in Pegue, waiting for reinforcements before ht could advance on Tonghoo„ which is said ,to be very strong the Si:noels. were on the march to join him. Tile cho lera, we are sorry to say, had made its appearance on board His Majesty's ship Alliya4r, and was making dreadful ravages among the crew ; Mr. Grills, bar purser„ had lately fallen a victim to it. Commodore Sir S. Brisbane had returned very ill, and had sailed for Penang in the Boadicea. . The great bell bad been returned to the Burinabs, and was replaced in its original situation, to the great satisfaction of the people, who crowded to welcome their old acquaintance. FEBRUAttIe 24.—.1ip to 66 24th of January; we under stand that treasure to the amount of ninety lace in hard cash, lass . sides plate •and jewels, had been discovered in the fortress of Bhurtpore, and more was expected, Sotne difficulty occurs as tai price-money, which we trust will, by-and-by, terminate satis factory to all parties—at least as far as the young heir of Bhurt pore and the captors of the treasure are concerned. A thorough investigation is requisite to decide in the first instance what is the Rajah's property, and what is not. Of Course the Rajah's pro perty must be restored to hini inviolate. Whether upon his offer ing a bonus to the gallant troops that rescued him and his pro.. party from the fangs of an usurper, Government would :permit their acceptance of it, is not for us to say ; hut we think it, clearly stands to. probability, that one-third of the property cap-. tured does not bona fide belong to the rightful heir of .Bhurtpore. The revenues of Bhurtpore, we have understood, amount only to aboutone lac per annum, It. is said, that a number of dis affective Zumeendars, fix, lodged property in the fort of 'l3hurt pore, eoresideringit as the chief place of security, now that the British Raj was about to terminate ! Should the investigation, that we doubt not will ensue, establish that,' but comparatively a small share of the property captured belongs to the Rajah, the rest, we presume, will become prize to the captors. The feeling with which the natives appeared to contemplate the siege of Bhurtpore, and the chagrin they exhibited en its fall, instruc tively show how little we ought. to depend upon their affection to our Government, and that we ought never to rely no touch upon their gratitude or love (which some affect so much to depend on) as trot to have always a numerous , and well equipped army, 'with all appliances to hoot, ready for ei , iry , etnergeocy. W 4 have seen letters from head-quarters in Ava, dated Patina goh, tha26th ult. They inform us that Sir Archibald Citropbell had commenced hie march at' the tared of the B en g a l di v i s i on , f or Unanertipoorit on this presaging day. The "tladras division was to move forward on the 28th. The troops had bean very molt annoyed by a very heavy fall of rain; which took place on the 24th, and which rendered the country almost impassable : a ha rassing and fatiguing march was anticipated, but the best spirit prevailed in the army, and all were anxious to reach the capital, and punish the duplicity of the enemy. We are sorry, however, to learn that the 'troops are Sickly, and'hadly off for supplies.— The beef and pork are rotten, and the biscuit very bad. The enemy had shoWn no further disposition td treat for peace, and had tent no reply to the letter Sir Archibald Campbell had sent after them, enclosing . the treaty which was left at Mellown. Some of the ' letters mention; that 'another large army is cols letting iu our front, and that his Golden-footed Majesty has *Worn never to make peace with us whilst we remain. in Ava. Mellown has been totally destroyed, end it is supposed that, the capital will share the same fate. It appears that the booty.taken at Mellown was considerable, and the place was giveusim to pillage. Some very beautiful, ponies, we are told, wtra taken, and many of them sold for 800 rupees His Majetty's 45th Regiment had marched from Rangoon to join the army In advance. Colonel Pepper was waiting fot reinforcements before he could advance on Tonghoo. The Burmese have latterly been very active on the river in in. tercapttng our-'supplies, and in ono or two instances; have bee; successful in cutting off convoys of boats. " Fzsalmom Letters . have been received from is Cornhermere'e.eamp, announcing the surrender of Aiwar, the la, of the refractory forte, /Ali Excellency the _Commander-in-Chicl was consequently already on his return to the Presidency, where he AVM expected to arrive about the end of next month." The following extracts of letters contain some curious details of occurrences during the armistice with the Burmese "PATASAGOII, JAX. 24.—" During the cessation of hostili ties, pending the armistice, the Kee %opera and Mahn sylwa frequently came across from Meflown to visit the British COM , mander-inChief.. Oa the' IStio there was a bora raeo in , camp ; the Melia Sylwa's favourite charger against a horse of Major. Jatiksrm, The Major won the rase.: the Mafia Sylwa's pony, as the stakes, beanie forfeited' accordingly, . but was not accepted .of. This beginning of the sport attracted others to the scene, sod va rious queer-looking animals stoned, tout many tumbles occurred. No accident of coneequeuee, however, happened, and both the British and Burmese sportsmen, parted at dusk 'delighted' with the day's atmotoments, T her e being little or nothing to do,' the di version of shooting *as permitted to our officers, who were out in parties from morning to evening, particularly the Madreeteee, who evinced a most noble contempt for the heat and the sun. The encampment Wienstuunded by swamps and jeeps, and there were a number Of ague cases aniring the troops but there was Ann dance of game , ' as .the mess tables of every corps in camp teatified. " At tle courerencees of the Commissioners, Mr. Mangles, the Secretary of the.,Britiah Commiessiou, conducted his department, we learn' with such ability, And so much to their satisfaction, as to receive the thanks ut the British Commissioners. " On the Vith of January, as on tlie next day the armistice WaCtO termiliate kit two p.m., unteh anxiety prevailed in camp on the subject ; in this the Csonmander-htChief, we may believe, shared, for we are informed that lie possesses an excellent know ledge of the duplicity and intriguing character of these semi-bar- Wiens, and doubts every word they utter, for which it mat bey, confessed they have now afforded 'hie' sufficient cause. Up 7to'l three o'clock p.m. teens was no appearance of the prisoner*, nor of the ratified' tre. - * - 4/ ; but the Kee Woonghee tva heard. to de dire that he .heard officially from Ava that the ratification had taken place, and' that it and the prisoners might he expected hourly by water. Nay, ht even said that if they did not soon Nutt up, he hinter f, the Calling Mengee, soul M i k e s y l wat woulrt . deliver themselves up as hostages to our army. cs The British amp screauts freeptently crossed the 'liar to Iliallown, to buy fowlsogie., anti were told by the Burmese that tb s y now considered thorn as friends,' and 'they absolutely treated them as such. During the 'evening of . the 17th the' Burmese Chief'* came areas, and held a teasing unsatiefat.,-tory conference, or t h ither pale lei, With Sir Archibald. The question hy in a nutshell; but th 4 iY .

The artillery practice is described as both olden- did and efficient. Our batteries continued playing until half past two o'clock, by which time the fort of Alellown became almost too hot for the enemy. At the concerted signal, the storming party (which had previously been embarked on board the gun -boats, some distance above Mellown,) moved down across the river. As the wind and current were favourable, they shortly reached the opposite shore, ascended the hill, as our correspondent writes, in beautiful style, and in twenty-five minutes from their leaving their own bank Mellown was ours.'! • THE WEATHER. Linn Pool, JULY B.—The drought, which had been of long continuance, his at length been relieved in this neighbourhood, and the heat, which had been excessive, has been somewhat tempered by a succession of refreshing showers during the last four days. We have also been visited by the thunder-storm, which seems to have taken so extensive a range having been felt in almost every county in England Wales, in the lowlands of Scotland, and even in France. BRADFORD, JULY 7.—The conflagrations upon the moors Still continue, and without abundant rain they are not: likely to be. speedily - .extinguished. Large tracts of sheep Walks have been entirely destroyed, and the hopes of those sportsmen who proposed to make the West Riding Moors their field of faMe are annihilated. The fir have not only spread over a wide extent of surface, but burnt to a great depth, consuming not only the moss, but the peat underneath. HawkeswOrth:moor is entirely deStroYed. On - Ilkley-m:4)r .500 acres are burnt. There is no hope of any part of Bingley-moor being .saved. Burley-moor is on tire, and is partly consumed. Thornton moorgis entirely destroyed, and with it all the young plan tations, which cost - upwards of 2,0001. in planting. Oaks worth4noor is entirely burnt. Ovendongnoor, Ilolme moss, B Hebden and Grassington-moors, are on fire; and unless - , as we - have already said, incessant and heavy rains should speedily fall, every one of these must be entirely consumed. We have no doubt that light- fling is the cause of the conflagrations. (From the Inverness Journal.) The long tract of dry weather, which may be said to have continued from seed time, there having been since only some partial showers about the end of the last month, has a length been interrupted. The heat still continues exceaiiive. The thermometer has been for some time abovit 80 in the shade, and during the past week has sometimes been even so high as 80, with a northern ex posure. On Wednesday afternoon thunder was heard in the distance in a northerly direction ; during the day it approached nearer, and about six o'clock in the afternoon a skirt of the cloud passed over this place ; there were several loud claps of thunder, and vivid flashes of light ningi and the rain fell in such torrents, that in a few minutes streams were running down the streets, which inundated low-lying houses, and ploughed np the roads whege there was any declivity. At Moyhall, the thunder was iremendons; it was there accompanied by showers of rain; hail, snow, and ice, breaking all the windows in the mansion, anti, cutting the stems of the corn and potatoes, desttoyed the crops. Ektract of a letter from Nairn, dated yesterday : About three o'clock yesterday we had one of the most terrific thunder-storms ever. remembered. The lightning struck a house at Newton, entered by the roof, and did great irkehief, In the kitchen, a serVant-girl's gown was burnt on her 'back, and a woman, who was sitting by the fire, was scorched by, the lightning. The whole house was filled with smoke, and the Inmates were nearly suffocated. There were a number of cattle • killed in the neighbour hood, but I have heard of no loss of human life." . t (From 'the Carlisle .7 - wank) (n Wednesday last we experienced as awful and sud ,denia change of. weather ,at, ' we haiiove, iris, . over bton witnessed m this eetuaty.

Such.a picture as was beheld in the heavens about two o'cloek,, has . been very rarely, ,if ever, witnessed before. Darkness, prevailed to., , an extent almost unknown in the height of summer. .. A furibus whirlwind followed, which for a space of above fiv4 minutes drove the dust from one part to another with such. velocity, that, but for the houses which surrounded tis,st would rather resemble an Arabian whirlwind than an Entrlishgale. The effects of the wind were truly terrific-- tcafc.ely a ereatttre to be seen in the streets, or if seen, thenhut in "stinetly, The storm new raged at its height;. hail and rain came down in furious torrents ; the, heavens and. the earth appeared associating. together; hail-stones fell in taupe places two inches anti a half in circumference; and thin dreadful storm continued with unabated fury, amidst peals of thunder, which followed one another without in termission, for the space of forty minutes. The ice that fell about this neighbourhood and at Crosby was, in many instances, three inches in eircumference.—The height .of tht thermometer previously. to the storm, wavered about Bg. Since that period it has fallen to 72. BANOVAR, J.U.NE 27,—The drought which ,has so long, prevailed has caused a great extent of marsh land to take fire in East Friesland, Groningen, Dunthe, and Olden -1)100 ; the ground was sown immediately after with black, oats and buck wheat, , and it is, hoped that an ample bar vOit will be obtained—General Paper. . On ,the Ist,of this month a dreadful ,thunder-storm ra vaged Chatelineau, in the province of flainault, and the environs.. It was accompanied by a tempestuous wind, with hail-stones, or rather large pieces of ice, of extraor dinary size, and torrents of rain, which caused the Sambre to overflow its banks, and inundate the plain to .a great dis tance,,ettrrying every, thing before it : trees of the largest size were rent by the storm. It . is impossible to estimate the' damage done.—Brussels Paper. A. letter from Louvain gives various particulars of the storm which visited that city. Several persons have been MEounded by the Bail-stones; a great number of windows dpre destroyed; the whole city was inundated; the gar ens are wholly laid Waste ; the fields of rye are destroyed; the wheat is only laid. The losses sustained by 13 communes of the district of 'l' 011 It layrj,ri .consequence of the.: storms at. :the be. inning of this mouth, have been estimated at 142,162 florins. The commune of Runic alone has suffered to the extent of 41,570 florins, and that of Epleehin 30,000 florins. These loSses are only in the corn fields. The meadows being still under water, the danutge. to the hay cannot be yet ascertained. The heat in the United States is very. great.

'.' SCIENCE AND GOVERNMENT. In the recently published number of the Edinburgh - Journal cif Science, there appears a very interesting description of that splendid piece of scientific work Thanship, the great achromatic: telescope now placed in the Observatory at Dorpat, the work of Mr. Frau enhofer. This eminent artist, in conjunction with Guineand, of Neufchatel, has arrived at a peat- liar process in the manufacture of glass for optical purposes, - which has hitherto , been completely unri valled ;' and the telescope in question is - probably without an equal. We are led more particularly to , .., this topic from observing the very strong language in which the writer of ,the article alluded to thinks proper to conclude his remarks :--,", Such, he observes, is the description Of - Fratienhofer's telescope, given by ProfesSor Struve, and we think that no Englishmen can read it without feelings, of the most poignant re gret, that England has, notb' lost her supremacy in the manufacture cll . Achromatic Telescopes, and the Government one of the sources of its revenue. In a . few years she will also lose her superiority in the manufacture of the great divided instruments for fixed observatories. When these sources of occupation for scientific talent declitle, the ' scientific character of the - country ' must fall along with them ; and the 'British Government will deplore when it is too late, , her total ' inattention to the scientific establishment of the empire. When a great nation ceases to triumph in her arts, it is no unreason able apprehension, that she may cease also to triumph by her arms."—(Edin. Phil. Jour. IX. 1100—Now, we must take the liberty of making an observation upon 'this statement : It is surely somewhat premature to say, that England " has lost " her superiority, becatise one single instrument has been made for a foreign observatory, which is larger than any of the same kind hitherto made at home • And still more unaccountable is the prophecy that therefore England will goon lose the superiority in the Construction of divided astronomical instruMents: viz, because she is behind hand in the manufacture of glass :—Q. E. D. the political forebodings that we may thus cease to triumph in arms as well as in arts, we can only ima , gine, found their way into this journal of science, by mistaking it for the Edinburgh Review. - But, lastly, the reflections introduced upon our Government 'are, if possible,: still more unfortunate and unjustifiable ;' if the writer of the article in question knows any thing of the proceedings in England relative to these mat ters, he can hardly require to be told that, so far from displaying this " total inattention" to science, our pre sent Government, we do not hesitate to say, has done, and 'is doing, more for science than any other in the civilized world ; and unfortunately for his argument, no sooner was the plan prOposed for a Scientific Com mittee for improving the manidacture of glass, than it was ,:most 'promptly and liberally seconded by Govern- 1 merit : and an establishment is now, and has been for some time in active operation, at which trials have• been assiduously carried on upon scientific principles, for the production of good glass for telescopes, free from alt interruption by the Excise; and from the spe4imena which have been already produced, we have littls floatation in auguring a% proud a pro-eminence for bur country in this as in, other branehea of scientific, art: Andit must indicate either the most entire ig norance, or the most stupid prejndice, not to acknow ledge that astronomy is Cultivated by a rapidly increag- Mg number, both of public and private observers, in this country ; and' that the general ,and increasing dif fusion of taste for itasublime pursuits, is such, as to afford ample patronage for the abilities of .those un merous scientific artists, in whom this country pre , .. eminently abounds; , -. , ' ! ' . . . . 06t6 ' ilANk4:' Mr. liunt,on passing through Somerset during the elec tion, gave notice in several towns, that he was determined to set up banks all through the country ,for the payment ef ountry notes in gold, and has so far commenced operations in this way, as to take a house lathe town of Glaston bury, where he is Lord of the Manor, and to have paint ed over the door " Gold Bank," At Wincanton, where . Mr. Messiter,' the -Treasurer to the County, , had a banking-house, Mr.-Hunt paid a visit, and addressed between four and five thousand people upon this amongst other topics. Mr, Messiter thought proper upon the occasion to address the inhabitants and Mr. Hunt. Mr. Iltiarr-,-1 believe the people of Somerset know, that I never broke my word with them.--(Cries of, Never.)—Well, as sure as yoti stand there (to Mr. IVles. liter) broiling in the sun, you and I will keep bank to gether in this town, and we will keep up, a. constant com munication (together.—(Laughter.). —Some ,people have dared to call me disloyal. Is this disloyal ? Is it not who benignly intend to iseeZdiantt ahe one pound t t p , l poid "e no nme te l sgi nt a ' dually out of eirculatien ? Why, the world will imagine that l am an agent for 09., vernment, lam so active in seconding their views. But I have another good object in •view, iceharitable object.— (Cheers and laughter.)—The one pound notes must be all in within two years, I think, according to the Act of. Parliament, and I shall begin to pay off, with the blessing of God, as 60011:81; possible, in order not only to show my respect for the law, but to manifest my regard for the character of the several establishments: amongst you.— . (Laughter.)—Wherever there is a rag bank I shall set up a gold bank, and you, may all come to my hank, for shall have two doors to it, without being. seen by the rag" gentlemen. . At Wells Mr. Hunt met with some difficulties when lie went to address the freeholders. Before he reached the town he was told that the Somerset Inn, .where he used to be received with open arms, could not accommodate him.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1826. The Paris Papers of Saturday, including the Etoile, dated Sunday morning, reached town by Ex press, last night. These Papers are more than usually interesting. The Etoile states that accounts from Prevesa mention, that the vanguard of the Seraskier has been beaten at Attica, and that he is falling back upon Missolonghi and Lepanto. The Courtier Francaise announces the arrival of Lord COCHRANE at Malta, with a squadron of seven teen 'veSSels, five of which are steam-boats ; but the Etoile contradicts this, upon the ground that the neu tral policy of England, with regard to the affairs of Greece, would not have permitted the conveyance of ammunition for the service of belligerent powers-- . -nor the entrance of such an armament into an English pc , l-t. An article from St. Petersburgh contains a letter from the EMPEROR to the Army of the Don, be stowing upon it, as a reward for its unalterable. fidelity,. the sabre which the Emperor ALEXANDER used to wear, which his Majesty directs to be preserved among the insignia ,of the Army of the H DOn, as a monument of its achievements in arms, and of its services, and a pledge of the uninterrupted good-will of its Sovereign. co 1,, , ,:, 3t , N .

The Courrier Prancaise goes further—it announces the arrival of Lord Cochrane at Malta with a squadron, composed of 17 yes seli, five of which are steam-boats. We believe that we may deny the truth of such a piece of news. Every body knows the proclamation of the King of England, • Which enforces all the provisions of the laws against the convey ance of ammunition for the service of the helligerent powers, towards whom Great Britain has promised to observe neutrality. How can the (;currier Francaise suppose that the vessels of Lord Cochrane could enter so freely an English port ? During the whole of the last Session the Opposition Journals have reproached the French Ministry with having observed a strict neutrality in the affairs of Greece. Now these tactics are changed, they announce that all the French vessels fit for sea, and all those that were on the coast of Spain have sailed for the Levant, for the ,purpose of seconding the Commissioners who are going to cause the Duke of Nemours tube proclaimed King of Greece. One would say that those Journals take pleasure in laughing at their readers.

The following extract of a lette;.received. from Rio de Janeiro, contains some interesting account of the state and prospects of the war now existing, between Brazil and Buenos Ayres:— . ~ The war with Buenos-Ayres is not likely to terminate so Moon as wa s expected; indeed, no period tan be named when it may probably b e b roug ht t o a n end either by force of arms or by treaty. Though there is nearly all the Brazilian naval force, amounting to near 80 vessels, hi the River Plate, little has been effected either in annoying the enemy or in preserving the blockade. Admiral Brown, by his watibfulness end activity, makes up for his want of foree. Should the war be prolonged into the winter season, which is now corning on, the large ships of 13razil, during the periodie.4tl storms which then occur, will be driven to sea, as they cannot enter the harbo ur of Monti-Vi deo , and there is no other shelter for them hi the river. At -Rio Grand e th ere i s a very large body of Braz ilian troo p s, but t h e y have been kept ins state of. inactivity, nor is it likely they will be very effective duringl)art eit ti r e country, winLerms ant°11)1; as most of ,thews are from th e - trop i cal unaccustomed to the weather, which will de,were harm amongst them than the enemy. It is reported that the 11 0001 ..Ayreans have purchased the Chilia n eque d ree, wh i ch is soon exPected round this way.

Ac counts had been received from Patanagnb, the heatown!quarters of the Army in Ava, to. the 27th January, Sir A. CAMPBELL commenced his march for Urnme *rapoora at' the head of the Betigal division, on the 25th. The army were animated by the best spirit : and evinced the strongest desire to chastise the enemy for its treachery. The troops, however, are said to have suffered much from a fall of rain, which took place on the 24th, and some sickness had broken out amongst them. The enemy had shown no further dis position to treat for peace, and, it was said, had collected a large army in front of the British force, the KING having vowed never to make peace with the .English while they remained in Ava. A large body of Bur mese troops was also said to be collecting in the neiOr bourhood of Arracan, and from the state of exhaustion by sickness, uuder which ,that division of the army laboured, the prospect of an attack by the enemy WAS not regarded without great apprehension. Letters had been received from Lord COMBER' 'mERE'S camp, of the , 2d of February, which announce the fall of Alwar, the last of the forts which held out. His Lordship having thus fulfilled all the objects of his expedition against Bhurtpore, was about to return forthwith to Calcutta. It will be remembered that at the time it was arranged iat the fortresses in the Netherlands should be re- paired, it was proposed by our Ministers that the works should be conducted under the superintendence of British Engineer Officers—but that the Dutch Go vernment declined acceding to the proposition. The fortitications have therefore been constructed by Officers selected by that Government, who, if the accounts which have been published in the French Papers of the imperfect state of the works are to be relied upon, will now have great cause to lament that the execu tion of the works had not been intrusted to the ob serving eye of English Officers. As this subject may become one of considerable importance, ,we arc in duced to. publish at length the private letter from Utrecht, given' in the Co-nstitutionnel of Saturday, stating the discovery of the abuses which had been practiced both in the materials and workmanship of the fortifications, and the steps which had been taw in consequence for the discovery and punishment of the offenders. UTRECHT, JUNE 30.—An affair of great importance, and which has been in progress for some time, occupies the whole of the public attention. Au Officer of high rank has been lately arrest od, charged with inalversation in the construction of fortifications in West Flanders. It is known that vast sums have been spent by the Government of the Netherlands in constructing these forti fications, yet the materials have lately been discovered to be so bad, and the workmanship is of such a defective nature, that the works are daily giving way, and falling to ruins. On the first appearance of the want of faith in the contractors and superin tendents, the most prompt and strict orders were given by the Go vernmeut—to institute au inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of the materials, their price, and the manner in which the fortifications had been erected. General Hennequin, who bad been arrested on suspicion, conscious of guilt, though the judg. ment of the Court of Inquiry assembled at rftrecht has not been made known, cut his. throat in prison some months ago, and the Commandant of Ostend equally implicated, shot himself, One of the worst circumstances of this case is, that a Lieutenant-Genera l of seventy years of age, should have been implicated in it—a min who 'possessed the King's confidence, and who had lately been sent on an important mission to the Dutch Colonies. This Generals as distinguished by the services he had. rendered to, his coun try, while under the dominion of strangers for twenty years. 1 1 1w the rewards which he has received from it since the return °` peace. and order, is to blam... only according to public opinion for having trusted too much to agents, and for not havU4 personalty ascertained, wl...ther the intentions of the King and his own plans would be faithfully carried into effect.-- Some time ago he was examined before the Grand Council of Wa r assembled at Istitcht, and thence sent oir to Ni swueu . The most profound secrecy is preserved aa to the nature of tire .videne* Report says, that the extreme rigour, evinced in this inquiry, in dependent of the well known character of the King for economy and good government, is to be attributed to an anxiety to satisft the Firitish Government. At the time when the reb u ilding OT engineers should be employed along with those belonging to these fortresses was resolved on, England proposed that English this country; and as this , was refused, the Dutch Government con sider tremselves bound in_ honour to institute the most * 1 " , inquiry. . The following are extracts -from the 0) ientat Spectator, of the '2d Junei.which" has reached us. It would appear that the accounts in the Italian Papers of the defeat of IBRAHIM PACHA near Tripulizza, .and the retaking of that place by NIOETA S and' LOCOTRONI, was incorrect. " Ibrahim Pacha, .afterhaving victoriously traversed a great part of the Morea, and taken ou his way the town of Calavrits, arrived at Tripolizza, where be Will remain , until the return of his fleet, with which he intends without doubt, to invest by sea Nk Poli di Romania, whilst he will attack it on the laud side, at head of his brave Arabs. „ - It here (Srnr,' The most ridiculous rumours have been curren. 411 Y r• na.) It was said thrii Ibrahim Pacha had been killed , tig :: SoEwan Bey had experienced the same fate, and that the GreW had given battle to the Turks and defeated them, after three day's fighting. We can contradict all these rumours : Ibrahim pasha, and Soliman Bey are both in excellent health, and there has bees no battle." •By the East India accounts which have been pub' fished, it appears, according to the statement of "" ccipts and payments in Great Britain for the year end' big Igsy. 1, 182 p, that the balance in favour of the Company on May 1, 1825, was 1,594,6441.95.
